Boby, who is known for his social activities, seized 40 canines from different parts of the district, the dogs were later sent to his warehouse in Wayanad on Wednesday, October 12. However, the capturing of the dogs led the locals to protests against the businessman, who had announced to adopt 10,000 stray dogs.
Following the complaints by people, who even protested outside his jewellery outlets in Chungam on Friday, a case was registered against the entrepreneur by the Kalpetta police. Even though the team had caught 20 more dogs on Friday, they were not taken to Wayanad because of public objection.
